A voice inside a voice.

By Exodus

God gave you life
Destroy it.

Bleed in this bed
Cleansed with sin

Your parents don’t understand
They’re afraid

So you bathed them in thick black smoke
Keep OUT!

And this love bled through
Too many times

And unwanted eyes
Did wander

You’re ruined
And you have no friends

No purpose in life
And that purpose seems unlikely

And the tears don’t stop
Unless you’re distracted

By a random smile

Don’t reject yourself
You’re ignoring your own voice?

And you still want to be
What everyone wants

But you know

You could never live like that

And you rather suffer the pain
Rather than the lies

A red letter
Painted with a promise

To tuck you in
As you go under

I like the light rhyme at the end of this... it's rare to see someone put a rhyme at the end that isn't forced. The murkiness of this tells me it's written for you more than for us ;)
